Special Counsel John Durham has released a 300+ page report titled "Report on Matters Related to Intelligence Activities and Investigations Arising Out of the 2016 Presidential Campaigns," in which he concluded that the FBI's investigation into collusion between Donald Trump's campaign and Russian government officials was unjustified. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) said the American people deserve to be angry about the information revealed in the report, and he believes the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, which has now invited Durham to testify in a hearing, will help bring accountability. Other lawmakers, like Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO), are calling for an overhaul of the FBI and for Hillary Clinton to be held accountable.
